We still managed to end up in the ER one morning when he got hypoglycemic and just couldn't get any sugar down. For what it's worth, a blood ketone level of 2.8 equated with "small" ketones on the lab draw he had done simultaneously, and he was not yet in DKA. That leads me to believe that some of the ketosis in such an illness can just be from starvation.<br /><br />Still, all that said, we love the meter and the additional information it provides. We never use urinary ketones anymore.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11189774166867941521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19467054.post-4012298917772128892010-08-31T11:41:07.304-03:002010-08-31T11:41:07.304-03:00Normal-Trace: 0.0-0.6
